The new paper, the Signal, published at
Davisville by Charles T. Mack, is a bright
and newsy weekly paper. which honors
alike lis proprietor and the town in which
il is published. Its business columns testify
to the fact of local appreciation, and it
should have the generous support of the
reading public of our neighboring town.
Tulare county has an additional public
exponent in the Weekly Standard, a new
paper, OF which I. S. Harris is editor and
proprietor. The paper consists of four
large pages, or thirty-two columns. and the
initial numbers show care, ability and en-
terprise, and are promise of final success.

their LAST bulletin concerning the present
potato crop: Since our last report on the
potato outlook, which indicated the poorest
prospect ST the time ever officially recorded
in the United States, the condition has
steadily declined through September and
October and this brings us to the end of the
growing season and gives us the slimest
yield per acre, if not the shortest total pro-
duction, in The United States We ever noted.
The general average is 62s this fall. against
the memorably low one OF 1881, which was

States this season is attributed TO the long

results from continued excessive moisture

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT AGAIN.

4 gentleman stated before the Teachers
Institute in this city last week that the
duties of Superintendent Of Schools are
clearly defined by the law. He therefore
thinks that the RECORD UNIONS estimate
of the proper qualifications OF such an Off
cial are based on misapprehension. He
added that the Superintendent has little
power and that change is not always re-
fern. That is to say, then, that the
Superintendent is little more than clerk
for the Board of Education. The RECORD
UNION thoroughly understands the law in
the case. The Superintendent it an exec
utive officer of the Board. He can make
motions before it and introduce resolutions.
Practically, at times, his voice decides the
policy of the Board. In its vacations he is
as emphatically as one can be Superintend-
ent. He can suspend teachers; he can ex-
crcise watehfulness over the schools; his
advice to teachers is very nearly an edict.
and is rarely disobeyed. lie is the coun-
eelor and advisor of the Board. For it
he is supposed 70 watch constantly over the
schools, report delingencys and suggest
reforms. In fact, he has such power
that he is great deal more than a
clerk. He should not inspire physical fear
but the fear that authority awakens, that
is born of respect for the Office and the
sosndness and frmess of the Judgment
that administers it. For these and OBJ
vious reasons besides, Superintendent of
Schools ought to be one familiar with the
theory and practice of education one who
dos mol mistake change" for "reform !"
one abreast with educational advancement
and upon whom Board OF
Education may lean if need be,
and in whose judgment upon educational
matters it can place its trust. We repeat,
and there is no successful reply to be
made, that the people in selecting men to
serve as Superintendent OF the schools,
should select educators fortified by expert
ence; not cranks with utopian ideas; not
bigots with but a single purpose; not
skilled clerks or mercantile men; not men
DESTROYS Of the Office income as supple
ment to revenue from private business, but
educators skilled as suck, whose lives are
devoted to the science Of education, and
whose whole time will be given to the
service Of the school system. We should
exercise as much good sense, we repeat, in
choosing Superintendent OF Schools, as in
selecting cooks for our kitchen.

THE LIVING TEMPLE

For the indwelling of that spiritual divin-
ity--a divinity whose altar is the human
heart-capable of development into infinite
propositions and immortal powers. The
minister closed with an eloquent appeal TO
young men to be worthy of themselves
That, he said, was the keynote of Christ
ian truth. In that awful battle where
Ensland's greatest Admiral won immortal
glory, what one of England's sons did not
respond With a personal devotion as that
cry still resonant with inspiration rang out,
England expects every man TO do his
duty" Forty centuries look down upon
you" cries Napoleon in the shadow of the
pyramids, and his battaiions sweep over
the hosts of Egypt, each man an uncon-
querable hero, for the soul OF honor that he
bears within him. God expects every man,
young and old, to do his duty; it is to the
manhood within you he appeals. Awake
from your moral Iethargyl Be ashamed to
let an immortal spirit sleep.
